Cloud Fun Facts!!!
Cloud names come from roots, like cirro, alto, and strato. Cirro means curl of hair or high, and alto means middle. Strato means layer. So, cirrostratus is a layer of clouds that looks like hair. Let’s take a closer look at the cirro clouds (my favorite ones).
Clouds with high altitudes have cirro as their prefix. There’s cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus. Cirrus clouds look like light wisps in the sky, and they are made of ice crystals because of their high altitude. In fact, all high-altitude clouds contain ice crystals. Cirrus clouds are wispy, like feathers. Cirrostratus are light layers of clouds high in the sky. What makes them different from cirrus clouds is that they’re a layer instead of wisps. Finally, cirrocumulus are lumps of clouds at high altitude. They clump together.
Did you know that clouds can also help you predict the weather? When a warm front comes, cirrus turn into stratocirrus. Then, the stratocirrus can turn into nimbostratus, which is a rain cloud. Cumulus clouds are puffy, white clouds that grow vertically. They can lead to storm clouds if they keep growing, so watch out!
(cloud facts from the National Weather Service)
Now, did you know that our solar system may be surrounded by a cloud? People call it the Oort Cloud. No one truly knows if it exists because, well, no one’s been there, but many believe it exists.
And it’s not the only cloud in space! Jupiter and even more planets have clouds. Jupiter and Saturn have clouds of ammonia ice crystals. They also have clouds of storms that rage constantly, including a hexagonal jet-stream storm on Saturn. But the Gas Giants aren’t the only planets that have clouds. Mars has clouds like Earth, and Venus has a thick layer of clouds, making it the hottest planet in the solar system. Venus’s clouds act as a greenhouse effect, trapping all of the sun’s heat. Who knew that clouds were so popular?
Thank you so much for reading this! That’s all. Bye, girlies!
